For the protagonists, I chose Japanese anime\u2013style visuals. I was able to find images and video clips on <a href=\"https:\/\/pixabay.com\/\">Pixabay<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.freepik.com\/\">Freepik<\/a>, and a few additional images were generated with AI. The narration was produced using <a href=\"https:\/\/elevenlabs.io\/\">ElevenLabs<\/a>\u2019 \u201cText to Speech Generator\u201d with the Eleven Multilingual V2 model. I selected the Terra voice because her tone has a slightly Asian quality, which fit well with the anime theme of the story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Credits<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Video &amp;
